‘So, how much longer ‘til spring?’

The first day of spring is five and a half weeks away, and Imperial residents are certainly counting the days, especially after another blast of winter this week. Five inches of snow fell overnight Monday and into Tuesday, causing another late start at Chase County Schools and more snow shoveling by local residents, including John Dietz, above, who was clearing snow from his parents’ driveway at 5th and Wellington Sts. Temperatures hit the 50s last weekend, but the cold readings were back early this week with the new snow. According to the local weather report, it dropped to -14 overnight Tuesday. (Republican photo)
